Adopting a new software, system or process can feel overwhelming and a complex process. Sastrify, however, is designed to simplify SaaS management, making it not only easy and efficient but also an enjoyable experience. While it undoubtedly saves time and money both in the short and long runs, achieving successful adoption of Sastrify within a company requires more than just its inherent capabilities.

Why is this important?


Establishing an internal understanding and garnering buy-in from key stakeholders and from a wider group of people within the company are pivotal steps in this journey.


If you’re a tool owner or admin using Sastrify to manage your SaaS or, if you’re the person who brought Sastrify into your organization, bridging the gap of awareness among your peers and team members is crucial.

  • You will want to make sure your peers and team know about Sastrify and start using it to achieve the goals you have set out for them.
  • You will also want them to understand the value Sastrify can bring to them on a daily basis.
  • This proactive approach aligns with the broader objective of ensuring not only the successful adoption of Sastrify but also its integration into the daily workflows of your colleagues.


Bringing your peers, team, and fellow tool owners within the organization on board will breathe life into these benefits, amplifying the software's potential impact on productivity and cost-effectiveness:

  • Better control over SaaS renewals
  • Improved organization and collaboration amongst your team
  • Less time spend on manual SaaS management tasks
  • More time to be strategic and proactive with your initiatives
  • More time and money saved



Practical steps and recommendations to roll out Sastrify


  • Informing Stakeholders via Internal Communication Channels:
    Use your internal communication channels like email or Slack to inform colleagues and tool owners about Sastrify. Clearly communicate who Sastrify is along with its significance and the reasons behind its initiation to ensure widespread understanding.
    Below, we've provided an introduction email template for your convenience.

     
  • Creating Internal Documentation and Resources:
    Many successful customers create an internal wiki or dedicated article using knowledge software like Notion or Confluence as a centralized resource on Sastrify. You can do the same, incorporating helpful resources listed in the Sastrify’s Knowledge Base.


  • Sharing Tangible Success Stories:
    Share tangible success stories to inspire your team. Over the years, we've witnessed how sharing successes serves as a powerful catalyst for inspiring new tool owners and colleagues.
    It creates a ripple effect, encouraging others within the same companies to join the momentum and experience the transformative benefits firsthand.


  • Inviting Stakeholders to Sastrify Platform:
    Navigate to the Settings > User & Authentication section to invite all relevant stakeholders to your Sastrify platform, including tool owners, procurement, finance, IT, and legal personnel—anyone involved in your SaaS procurement process. There's no limit to the number of people you can register, and you can customize user roles to suit different needs.


  • Assigning Tool Owners Within Sastrify:
    Once tool owners are registered, assign them to their respective tools within Sastrify.
